Motorists are once again being urged to avoid traveling through floodwater after a Gloucestershire driver collided with a submerged sign, damaging her car’s fuel tank and causing petrol to leak out. Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue crews were called to the incident in London Road to clean up more than 50 litres of spilt petrol.

Older drivers are as safe as drivers from all other age groups, according to research published by the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists). Contrary to widespread belief, the study shows experience counts in the drive for safer roads. They have better attitudes to safety, deal with hazards better than young drivers and use experience to increase their safety margins on the road.

Motorists will continue to be able to access DVLA services locally to tax their cars and apply for driving licences after the Secretary of State for Transport today announced DVLA is awarding a new contract to Post Office Limited to provide DVLA’s services from their post office network.
